A couple of random thoughts:The D800 and D800E look to have pretty reasonable price points.The cost of purchasing a D800 will have to include the expense of more processing power and storage space because of the LARGE RAW files.You can keep the Tokina 10-17mm lens because the D800 crop mode is the same MP (or better) as your present Nikon Dx camera.In your standard 8x10/11x17 print, will you notice a difference with the new 36 MP sensor?At least 6 months before we see a housing??? Where does Nikon go from here? NIKON RUMORS hit this nail on the head.
